Adorable lunatic Gorden Tallis lays out the blueprint for Pies: what he must to do to salvage what's left of the Broncos and his own skin in the process. Gordon honours us with his thoughts in tomorrows Sunday Mail, a highly circulated title in the Broncos' corporate media family.
He reminds us Pies has 9 (count 'em) weeks left to save his job, which has the highest profile in Australian sport, and advises him to "completely overhaul his approach to coaching." That while for 40 minutes in their 46-8 drubbing "the Broncos played as well as they possibly could" the fact that they were still thrashed shows something is "seriously wrong."
Every man wants to be him. Every woman wants to be with him.
Gorden "cannot see what Seibold is trying to achieve." He can't see a "leader or general" or "who the Broncos belong to." Unlike how the Sunshine Coast Storm "belongs to Cameron Smith." He reckons Pies has to "hand the keys of the team to someone," and get this, he's named the recipient as Tom Dearden.
Respect my authoritah
Sure, says Gordie, Tom is only 19, with eight NRL games next to his name, but make no mistake he is the "future of the Broncos." In his first start at halfback in more than 12 months, we saw someone finally willing to "call the shots." All he needs is to "find his voice and be given the confidence to do so. When Dearden doesn’t perform, because he is learning on the run, he has to be cut some slack."
The bull who raged accuses Pies of being "too nice to Anthony Milford by refusing to give him responsibility" and that he was exposed at the back. He thought Milford "had some nice touches early when he wasn’t fatigued, but as the game wore on he was not equipped to stay in the contest." He thinks the Broncos are failing because Pies has been "too focused on trying to coach the team rather than the individuals. He has tried to mould the Broncos into players that they are not."
Lift your Tinder game
He then goes off on a surreal tangent, which is near impossible to logically deconstruct from the following evidence:
"Pat Carrigan is a 22-year-old captain of the Broncos who is trying to play like Manly’s Jake Trbojevic, one of the NRL’s best forwards. The best coaches coach the individual and Seibold should have learned that during his apprenticeship under Craig Bellamy at the Storm. Bellamy is the master at harnessing every bit of talent from a player and using them to make the Storm a better team. He doesn’t try to make them someone they are not."
MBGA
Then caps off by releasing the players on bail:
"It’s not the Broncos players’ fault that they have lost eight of their past nine matches. The team looks as though they have no plan. If Seibold is coaching for his future then he has got to throw his manual out and come up with some new ideas. He has to look at his players, see what their strengths are and find a way to make the Broncos great again."
"If not, his performance review can only end one way."
I think we've already run that review, just quietly.
